Green & Co. s report on cotton futures says
There was fair trading on cotton futures and
little showing of steadineSS to commence with,
but subsequently weakness was developed and
prevailed during the balance of the day, with
the decline made along the entire line. Nothing
new came in from home sources calculated to
contribute to stimulate the tone, and as the
cable brought adviceS that Neill Bros. were
about issuing an estimate of 6,7500O0 bales,
many of the longs concluded to sell out, while
some ventures were made on the short SIDE
under expectation of good scalping turn.
From the highest to the lowest there was de
cline of 10 points, closing nearly the lowest,wlth
the tone about steady"

CHICAGO, Nov 17-The battle in the pit to-
day seemed not to be so much between bulls and
bears as between Ollu> SelllilS 10 TtdllAe anu
take profits, and bulls who were taking wheat.
The final results were decidedly mixed. Wheat
shows an advance of 12qMc over yesterdays
close while corn and pork have declined 59c and
CSC respectively. Wheat closed not far from
the highest point of the day, and corn and pork
nearly at the bottom. When the board opened
the indications were that contrary TO usual ex
parience the boom which Yves the feature OF the
closing markets yesterday would be continued
to-day Cables came in strong and higher on
grain. and the stock yards market for hogs was
Toe higher. in spite of the fact that 5000 hogs
were received December wheat opened at
355sc and May &c higher at Sl4c. These prices
were improved slightly in the first ten minutes.
but the disposition to realize was too strong and
the load that came on the market took Decem-
her down TO 751hc. This temporary appearance
of a break was wiped out in a few minutes. A
high bull fever was on, and there seemed to be
no such thing as stopping It, Big traders threw
large quantities of stuff into the pit, but the
capacious NAV of the market gulped it down,
and opened wide for more. The advance was
stimulated bY heavy covering on tue part OF
shorts and the common report is that they paid
something like NC more for property than
thew sold it for few days ago. The fact that
such large shorts were in was considered by
many the weakest feature Of the market. In
fact after they finished buying there was a de-

Corn appeared to be in a rather overfed con
djtion and it, as there are plenty OF people to
believe. it is going n long way higher up, It Ger
tainly halted to-day to digest the advance
already gained The volume OF business was as
large as yesterday, and the market was sensi-
tive enough to show wide fluctuations under the
